Typing

Flittering fingers flying
                                   Across the keyboards 
                                    When I am typing
                                    I am never bored

                                      Lap top and IPad
                                      Or trusty old IBM
                                      Across keyboards
                                     My ten digits swim

                                   Tapping, tapping and
                                    Striking all keys right
                                    Stroking keyboards
                                     To me is a delight

                                     Typing the words  
                                    Laying them down
                                     In Microsoft Word 
                                    Or on paper bound

                                   Printing them out to
                                    Present to posterity
                                     Typing is so damn
                                       Satisfying to me

I went for typing lessons in Wiarton, I also went for computer lessons in Wiarton. I enjoy both. I type my poems on the computer , then for Poert Soup. I enjoy typing and being on the computer. Love your poem.

I guess you and I share a love for technology, especially their keyboards. Thank you for the nice review. (Smile)

I share you enthusiasm for typing, and I was very good at it – 256 words a minute! At a slower rate I'd pretend I was a concert pianist (I'd wear earphones listening to Mozart piano concertoes). I still type all my poems but it's slow going now with arthritis, but typing beats writing any day. Many thanks for stopping by to read my humor. Best to you. / M

Then rhythm of typing is what I enjoy the most and watching the sentences foeming on the screen. Also, pianos (and guitars) Are my favorites musical instruments to listen to. So see, we have a lot in common and I look forward to reading more poems written by you.
